Yes, it does not help.

Also gnumeric complains on start to stderr:

May be I should reset some configuration files ?

No, this is not fixed on latest gnome. But I can start second Xserver
manually
sudo X :1

Another issue notification-area applet still can be started after it's
children. I was forced to fix this by adding sleep() into simicq binary
to wait while notification-area applet starts.

Is any plans to make this in sync ?
